Does Supergirl exist in this Universe? Perhaps as one of the people trapped in Kandor?

She is one of the people trapped In Kandor yes. I didn't want her existing yet because I wanted to emphasize the sole survivor aspect of Superman, to mak the revelation about Kandor's existence have more of an impact on him.

alright, post successfully made and posted, how'd I do? =3

It' was a good introduction, but I'd appreciate it if you could capitalize the starts of your sentences and use periods. I don't mean to be a dick or a grammar nazi, but that's part of casual roleplay standards.

Um...Nicnak, did you get approval on that bio yet? Also I know you definitely didn't get approval from me yet as Batman's player to try and integrate yourself into the scenario Vita and I are playing out since I've been offline for a long time so..yeahAlso other than 'funded by Lex Luthor" it...kinda seems like he's an OC without any connections to the DCU in any format but that's less important.

I did approve his bio, and I thought being funded by Lex Luthor was a sufficient connection to the DCU. That's not really that dissimilar to being something like a former sidekick of an established superhero, which is what Shifter is. "Having a connection to the DCU" is an admittedly vague statement, but I do think that Maximums fits the bill.

I had pm'd Zeus the CS and he said it was accepted, then he just said to post it in the OOC, so I did =3 I guess, I could have waited for it to be formally accepted in the OOC.... and since I had the idea of Lex Luthor being in my CS's Bio to help bring him into the story before you had posted about Batman & Robin going to Luthor, I thought I might be able to bring him into the story that way, perhaps mix things up a little? eh-heh... but your right......, I should have asked you about doing that before posting, I just didn't think about it at the moment.... sorry... *lowers head apologetically*.... as for him not being connected to the DCU... yeah I had a hard time trying to think of something so I went with what I thought up =3if you'd like me to change me post, I'll do my best to please *salutes*

Next time just be sure to send a quick PM first. But I'm sure you guys can work things out. As it stands right now, Batman and Robin are infiltrating Luthor's tower to get info on the whole Kahndaq situation. All NacNak really established was that Luthor happened to be watching some scientists work on something while this was going on.

There's a code red at the Watchtower right now, but Dblade and Vita be sure to complete your mission with Lex before reporting back to the Watchtower and joining in the fight. It's believable that Batman would want to take care of that first, because he's more of a street-level hero, and there's plenty of superpowered heroes in the Justice League to handle cosmic threats. Batman is an asset against those threats, no doubt about it, but he's real expertise is investigation.

I'm going to let BlackSam make a post in the IC first, because his last post left off with Aquaman going to speak to J'onn about some issues with Atlantis and I feel like he should have the opportunity to have that conversation, or at least start to have it, before Brainainc's forces show up and he has to hop into battle. So after BlackSam's next psot, I'll try to post again. I really think the ideas that BlackSam has brought to the table, like Atlantis being fed up with humans dumping waste in the water and stuff like that, fits well with the theme of the story and the reason Brainiac has come to Earth in the first place. In the future having Brainaic sort of trying to turn Aquaman against the humans and trying to show him how inherently evil he believes them to be will set up some great character moments. And I'm hoping that in the climax of the story we might see Aquaman calling upon the armies of Atlantis to rise up and help defend the humans or something to that effect. That would be a perfect story arc.

Superman contacted the Watchtower immediately, "J'onn I need you to beam me up."

"Locking onto your location now."

Moments later, with flash of light, Superman was gone. As he stepped off the transporter pad, the Martian Manhunter could see the earnest look of concern on his face. J'onn J'onzz, better known as the Martian Manhunter, was the coordinator of the Justice League. From the Watchtower, J'onn was able to survey the Earth and monitor the League's activities. With the League having grown so much in size, it made sense to have someone in charge of directing groups of heroes to various crises around the globe. Superman believed J'onn to be the League member most similar to him, given that they were both the last of an extinguished race. However, the recent revelation about the existence of Kandor had thrown that belief into doubt.

"I fear the Watchtower may soon become compromised, we need to be on full alert," said Superman.

Just moments after he spoke, the Watchtower's surveillance system lit up. An armada of ships emerged from hyperspace, and began to close in on the Justice League headquarters. At the front of the fleet, was a ship in the shape of a skull.

Sorry guys looks like I'm gonna have to POSTpone that post until after I get off work tomorrow.

Justice League

Hey guys sorry I didn't post yesterday. I'm going to post later tonight, and in that post Brainaic's army is going to attack the Watchtower and the battle will be on. And Cartwright you're clear to post if you want, introduce you're character, find a way to involve him in the battle (it will come to the ground level as well).

okay, the site would appear to be stable for me, for the time being, I shall use this time to make/post my CS =3

Key phrase: "for the time being"

Something really needs to be done about this site's tendency to randomly shut down. I feel like I'm on the internet in Iraq.

Justice League

Just made a pretty huge post in the IC thread, some very important exposition in there. It's long, but I think it has some great lines and I'm very proud of it. I can't wait for you guys to give it a read, and please send some feedback my way.

Clark was taken aback by this revelation, "Why have you not told me this before Father! I could have sought Brainiac out, found a way to save the people of Kandor and restore the City! I thought myself to be the last surviving Kryptonian, but that was a lie!"

"I had feared this reaction. Brainaic is a power unlike anything you have ever faced. Despite all the gifts bestowed upon you by the yellow sun of this world, I do not believe you can stand against Brainiac. And know this Kal-El, the people of Kandor are not alive, they are trapped in a permanent micro-stasis. And to be able to reverse this process, you would have to defeat Brainiac himself. There is nothing that even you can do to help them now."

"The symbol of the House of El means hope, how can you have forsaken all hope for Kandor?"

"I have witnessed the power of Brainiac and his armada first hand. My brother Zor-El was one of the many Kryptonians lost in Kandor. Brainiac's interest in the planet Earth is a dire omen for what is to come."

"What do you mean?"

"Brianic has foreseen the imminent destruction of the human civilization and of this world. That is why he will come Kal-El. Kandor is but one of many cities in Brainiac's collection. For every planet that Brainiac has visited, death and destruction have followed suit. Years, months, sometimes even only weeks later. There is no pattern to the destruction. Some worlds fall victim to pollution, to war, some due to environmetnal catastrophes and to the natural evolution of solar systems. But all have met their doom."

"I refuse to accept that the Earth is doomed. We will find a way to persevere and overcome."

"Your spirit is admirable my son, your adoptive parents have raised you into the man I had one day hoped you would be. But know that on Krypton when I spoke of coming doom, my voice fell on deaf ears. I pray that it is not the case again."

"What can you tell me about how Brainiac launched his attack?"

"Brainaic's forces will attempt to create a diversion, allowing him to prepare for the collection process. Be wary my son, for he will attempt to use this planet's own technology against it."

"I need to contact the Justice League."

"Do you remember the story I once told you Kal-El, the story Nightwing and Flamebird.?"

"Of course Father."

"They were the greatest heroes that Krypton had ever known. And they died defending the City of Kandor from Brainiac."

"Their sacrifice will not be in vain. I'm going to save Kandor, and I'm going to save this world."

"I am so very proud of you Kal-El. You are a far more courageous man than I could ever have hoped to be. But know that this Fortress was, and is, meant to be your salvation. It has the capacity to transform back into a ship, and take you far away from this place. Brainiac will not pursue you. He will come to collect his prize and nothing more."

"My fate will be the same as that of this world. Goodbye Father."

Superman turned off the console and left the Fortress. He looked up to the sky, thinking of Jor-El's words.

"Be wary my son, for he will attempt to use this planet's own technology against it."

Far above the Earth, he could see the Justice League Watchtower.

Justice League

The Fortress of Solitude, a sanctuary on Earth for Krypton's Last Son. The magnificent crystalline structure was quite unlike anything built by human being. It was distinctly alien, much like Superman himself. The Fortress was everything the Bat-Cave was not. While Batman's lair was dark and utilitarian, Superman's sanctuary was bright, vibrant and beautiful. As it sparkled in the sun Clark wondered if it somehow drew strength from the same source as he.

The Fortress was originally the ship that had brought Clark to the Earth as a baby, but as he grew, it did as well. When he entered adulthood, his ship came alive, blasting away from it's resting place on the Kent farm and heading north, far, far away from the populated world. Through advanced Kryptonian technology the ship expanded itself and terra-formed the land around it, building what would become the Fortress of Solitude. What began as a cradle for Clark as an infant would become a home for him as a man.

In the main chamber, there was a massive Kryptonian computer. Clark placed the arrow underneath the computer scanner, hoping to collect a data-reading from it. According to the computer, the robot's origin was indeed the planet Colu, as was reported by Green Lantern's ring. It's configuration and specifications matched that of Coluan probe droid, controlled by an entity known as Brainiac. After pondering for a moment, Clark placed his hand on one of the computer panels, which began to glow.

"I am in need of your help Father."

A massive hologram projection appeared in the image of Jor-El, Superman's biological father.

"Speak my son."

"My world has fallen under attack," said Superman, "A Coluan probe droid came to Metropolis, sent by a being known as Brainiac. However, I have not heard of such a planet, nor have I encountered such a being."

"I had feared this day would come my son," replied Jor-El, his voice booming through the halls of the Fortress, "The Earth has been chosen by the Preserver of Worlds."

"Preserver of Worlds? I don't understand."

"Brianiac," replied Jor-El, "Is an immensely intelligent and highly advanced android, whose primary function is to collect and preserve remnants of doomed civilizations."

"You speak as though you have seen this android before..."

"I have Kal-El. Decades ago, he came to the planet Krypton," Jor-El paused before continuing, "His forces invaded our world, but his aim was not to destroy it. He miniaturized our greatest city, the City of Kandor, and collected it in a bottle. A relic of a doomed world. The bottled City of Kandor is all that remains of Krypton, aside from this Fortress, and you."
